UAB Blazers football statistical leaders

Bryan Thomas holds Blazer career and single-season records in sacks.

The UAB Blazers football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the UAB Blazers football program in various categories,^[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Blazers represent the University of Alabama at Birmingham in the NCAA's Conference USA. The football program is currently on hiatus, but will return in 2017.^[2]

UAB began competing in intercollegiate football in 1991.^[1] Entries on these lists tend to be dominated by more recent players, however, as regular seasons expanded from 11 to 12 games in 2002-03 and permanently in 2006. Additionally, the Blazers played in one bowl game, the 2004 Hawaii Bowl, and the 2004 season has a disproportionately high amount of entries.

These lists are updated through the end of the 2014 season.
